Much complaint is heard among
shippers on the Pennsylvania railroad
that the facilities for handling and hous-
ing freight at Newark Centre are totally
insufficient owing to the sieve-like con-
dition of the freight warehouse, which
does not pretend to exclude rain and the
other elements. Repeatedly has the
company been appealed to to afford more
protection to their property but nothing
has been done. 1t is to be hoped that
they will soon realize the necessity fol
some change before it is too late.

cut for freight haulers and relieving Main

bargains could be made at home. 1t il
a duty which every public spirited maj
woman or child to help Newark in thes,
dull times.
